Section 1 Understand own role, responsibilities and boundaries of role in relation to teaching
Assignment T3 Explain how you could promote inclusion, equality and diversity with your current/future learners. Identify other points of referral available to meet the potential needs of learners.

Promoting inclusion can be as simple as recognising an individuals right to be given the same access to resources as everyone else, rather than excluding them for any reason. This may be either directly or indirectly. Barriers to inclusion may involve different or specific learning needs, language problems, physical/emotional difficulties or the fear of joining a group. By using a combination of different approaches and resources when teaching (differentiation), different individual needs can be met thereby benefiting the group as a whole.
‘At its most basic level, differentiating instruction means "shaking up" what goes on in the classroom so that students have multiple options for taking in information, making sense of ideas, and expressing what they learn.’ Tomlinson (2001:1).
Promotion of equality in the classroom is not just an expectation; it is a requirement; achieved by understanding the issues students, and not forgetting, staff can face in relation to race, disability, gender, age, religion or belief, sexual orientation and other barriers. It means giving equal support to all learners as well as ensuring any resources used are appropriate and not offensive or stereotypical.
